Spring Beauty – Drawn by Lucile Kossodo<\/p><\/div>\n

The John Clayton Chapter of the Virginia Native Plant Society<\/b> was chartered in June of 1984 and was named in honor of the colonial botanist, John Clayton. Our membership includes beginners as well as professional botanists, novice and experienced gardeners, and folks who just like to walk and see some wildflowers and trees.<\/p>\n

We present educational programs at our meetings, as well as to schools and civic organizations, conduct fieldtrips and workshops, participate in plant rescue and relocation, work on conservation projects, publish a bi-monthly newsletter, and have displays for libraries, schools, and events. We hold a native plant sale in spring every year. Proceeds from the sale support Nature Camp scholarships and development of native plant gardens in our service area.<\/p>\n

The Chapter includes Gloucester, Mathews, Middlesex, James City and York Counties, as well as the Cities of Williamsburg, Hampton, Newport News and Poquoson.<\/em><\/p>\n

Join us<\/a> to learn about or share your knowledge and love of our native plants.<\/p>\n
